To its credit, CD's gives veterans' and senior discounts! I ordered the Fish and Shrimp Dinner with broccoli and corn on the cob for my sides. The food was brought to the table, hot and fresh. Go!

“Captain Ds is a great place eat and I highly recommend but I came in last night 5/30/26 at around 9:30 as an Uber delivery driver. As I pulled into the parking lot the place appeared to be closed so according to uber's policy if a restaurant is closed we're directed to take a pic of the door being locked. The lights were really really dim in the dining area and the drive thru lights were out. So as I'm taking this Pic for Uber and canceling the order,some young lady appeared from the back. I pulled on the door and it was open so I asked the young lady was the place open and she said yes. I asked why do you guys appear to be closed and a manager came out of the back and said that the previous manager I guess s that was there before her had forgotten to turn the drive thru lights on. The way that she said it seemed snarky and attitudish so I left and ended up calling Uber to explain the situation. I woke up this morning to an email saying that the restaurant gave me the order that I came there for which is false. When I called uber,they'll call the restaurant to verify if the restaurant is close or not but evidently whoever answered the phone told Uber that the order was picked up but the driver never verified the order before leaving. I spoke with a manager this morning via phone from captain Ds verifying that the order was still there. Captain Ds is a great place to dine but unfortunately sometimes businesses hires the wrong people and it can damage a company's reputation and integrity. I could've lost my job and they could've completely ban from the app indefinitely.“
